• Economies of scale describes situations where the joint production of two or more goods results in lower marginal costs than their separate production.

  • Economies of scale differ from economies of scale in that the former means producing many different products together to reduce costs, and the latter means producing more of the same product to reduce costs through efficiency.
  • Economies of scale can result from goods that are by-products or additions to production, goods that have additional manufacturing processes, or goods that use common resources for production.
